Winter Storm

It's so unusual to get so much snow at the elevation here at the ranch...but then again, I heard that storm brought snow to Sacramento and parts of the Bay Area.....

The dogs loved it, the tipi was cozy and............

the horses were nestled into the barn......of course, they got extra carrots, apples and yummy grain..........

Before the winter storm

As we neared December this year, the weather was incredible, the fall colors amazing. The horses enjoyed lazy days grazing on new buds of grass.......almost looked like Spring.....

Sam and I with the fall colors blazing........

catch up THREE

In the Summer of 2008, I had such amazing experiences raising and training my ever growing big boy Oscar...... we participated in clinics, played with cows, rode the mountains of the Sierras in Tahoe...

This big spotted horse was a Draft/Appy cross....stunning and I thought he was huge until Oscar rode up next to him.....:-) Perspective is a funny thing sometimes..........giddy-up!!!!!!!!!!

Good times on horseback........having family and friend gatherings and giving pony rides to all the kids.....Oscar being the 2000lb. Draft horse "pony"........summers at the ranch are the best....a virtual kids playground, BIG kids included.....

This coming Spring/Summer has much in store as far as events, open studio tours, etc....if you'd like to be added to the e-mail mailing list of events, please drop a line and I'll add you to the list........

catch up ONE

Howdy to all who might visit my new website and to those who have e-mailed, wondering why I have not kept up to date on my blog entries.......so, here goes.....I'll play a bit of catch up here, starting with the amazing storm that blew through these parts 2 years ago, wreaking havoc on tipi living, which, thankfully, I was not doing at the moment, having finally finished building my studio.........

.........as I watched the storm from inside my little abode, I saw the wind rip my smaller tipi into tiny little pieces that littered the yard, while the wind picked up the larger tipi and launched it into a huge oak tree, collapsing it as it came crashing down upon all the interior furnishings....leaving nothing salvageable. As that was happening, an enormous oak, nearly 200+ years old, fell crashing onto the ground and all the surrounding fences.......my dogs, I'm certain, enjoyed the results immensely, as they got to live in my art studio for over 6 weeks, until I could remove the tree and repair the fences.

I renamed my studio "doggy day care" for the rest of the winter........
